LeBron James notches triple-double in decisive win over Spurs

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the San Antonio Spurs 119-101 on Wednesday night in arguably the season’s best team effort yet.

The Spurs held a one-point lead early before the Lakers went on a 21-10 scoring run to end the first quarter and from then on, the Lakers led the whole way. San Antonio made a strong effort to come back, but the Lakers seemed to match every Spurs bucket with one of their own.
